SUMMARY:PMT
DESCRIPTION: \nWelcome to P.M.T (Powering the Matriarchy Together)\n– a small but mighty celebration of womxn and non binary people in Birmingham. Our fierce cats at PMT HQ are back for a second year\, bringing you playful and mind tingling sessions covering themes of love\, art\, body and work. \nCome along to connect with some of the city’s brightest minds\, inspiring performers and crafty cats who’ll leave you with plenty of things to make\, marvel at and explore. \n \nWORKSHOPS\n11.00am – 11.30am | Weaving Your Identity with Nilupa Yasmin\nJoin Nilupa in a weaving circle like no other and hear her talk about her work which is rooted in notions of culture\, self-identity and anthropology.\n\n12.15pm – 12.45pm | Boxer Bab with Miriam Zouhou\nDo you know you don’t need to be big and strong to throw a punch? Come and join England boxing champ and rising star Miriam Zouzhou as she shares her journey into boxing. You’ll even get a chance to do a few moves as she guides you through a couple of her favourite moves. Please wear comfy clothing for this session and be prepared to express some rage!\n\n13.45pm – 14.15pm | Taking Action\, Taking Care: Self Love & How to Practice It with Louise Latter\nJoin Louise as she talks through some of what she has learnt from receiving CFT (compassion focused therapy)\, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). \n\nPERFORMANCES\n11.45am – 12pm | Demi Nandhra\nDemi is an interdisciplinary artist from Birmingham who makes solo performance\, live art\, theatre and sociopolitical enquiries. Her work explores Mental Health through examining collective sadness\, vulnerability and cultural binaries. Her work is performed in theatres\, galleries and beds. \n1.15pm – 1.30pm | Nafeesa Hamid\nNafeesa is a British Pakistani spoken word poet and playwright based in Birmingham.

Their work grazes close to the situations they find problematic but extenuated\, inflated rendered a little unhinged. Join them as they share their performative self care piece “Are You Thirsty”. The work will be audio and visual with performative elements which are mostly soundscape and spoken word. The character is based on the need to take care of yourself though brand endorsement\, or the way brands monopolise our obsession with bettering ourselves. \n\nSTUDIO\nAll Day | Illustrated Brum Zine Library\nThis year we have the very special PMT Zine Library hosted and created by Illustrated Brum. There’s still time to drop us in a zine here. We’ll be accepting contributions on the day too\, so feel free to pop one in and enjoy a good coffee\, and a browse through the other fab zines here on the day. \nAll Day | Humeaimart\nHumeaimart will be exploring gender through an interactive stall where you can help them decorate a sculpture featuring a variety of genders! \nAll Day | Face Painting with Sanika.

Dr. Emm Powar invites you to sit in with her in her boudoir and drop off your catcalls. She invites you to share them\, write a response and leave them behind.

It is considered more intersectional than womyn because it actively includes trans-women and women of colour. \n \n\n\n \nAbout The Organisers \nROAR is a movement to help educate and empower people to feel safe in their own skin. A newly-founded venture growing right here in Birmingham\, ROAR seeks to grow resilience in our communities with an emphasis on gender-based and sexual violence. \n\n \n
